When it comes to tinted lip balms that deliver on both comfort and hydration, the Spotlight Dewy Lip Balm (P395 / 3.5 g) is worth checking out. Many lip balms promise color or moisture, but few manage to strike that perfect balance between the two. This balm, however, does just that, making it the ideal choice for days when you’re craving a wash of color but don’t want to compromise on hydration or comfort.
Comfortable and Hydrating
The standout feature of the Spotlight Dewy Lip Balm is its sheer, lightweight feel that hydrates like a lip treatment. Unlike some tinted balms that feel waxy or sticky, this one is smooth, thanks to nourishing ingredients like jojoba oil, Vitamin E, and castor oil. Plus, the addition of hyaluronic acid gives an extra boost to make lips look healthy and hydrated over time.
Beautiful, Buildable Color with Translucent Finish
This balm offers a sheer yet noticeable color payoff that’s perfect for casual looks. It’s translucent enough for a fresh, natural vibe but buildable if you want to amp it up. The five shades—Lipnosis, Moon, Bliss, Stargazer, and Lucid—are universally flattering and suit a range of skin tones, so there’s something here for everyone. You get a dewy finish that’s effortlessly chic and perfect for that no-makeup makeup look. Here are the swatches in a video!
Staying Power and Texture
The staying power of about 2-2.5 hours is pretty standard for a balm, so you’ll likely need to reapply, especially after eating or drinking. However, it fades gracefully without leaving uneven patches or staining. With no added scent or taste, it’s great for anyone sensitive to fragrances.
Overall
For P395, the Spotlight Dewy Lip Balm (3.5 g) is a solid buy if you want a comfortable, hydrating lip product that gives a lovely translucent color. It’s ideal for those low-maintenance days and perfect as a reapplication companion in your bag. The shades, moisturizing ingredients, and dewy finish all make it worth adding to your daily beauty routine.
